In Five Years by Rebecca Serle

In Five Years was a book club book that I was sadly unable to attend but I did finish and chatted with friends that also read. I was surprised at how angry I felt when I finished. I had invested myself in an ending that didn’t happen but when I’m honest with myself, that endingContinue reading “In Five Years by Rebecca Serle”

The House on Cerulean Sea by TJ Klune

The House on the Cerulean Sea was my first read with The ReadRover book Club over on Instagram and it didn’t disappoint! Lauren, our fearless leader even convinced the author, TJ Klune, to join our Zoom discussion. Talking with TJ brought so much to the conversation and really helped me appreciate the inspiration behind thisContinue reading “The House on Cerulean Sea by TJ Klune”

You Are Not Alone by Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen

You Are Not Alone was a fast paced, question provoking, who did it and what the heck is going on type of book! This is the third book I’ve read by this dynamic duo and will read more for sure.

The Night Swim by Megan Goldin

I really enjoyed the concept of this book! As a fan of true crime and unsolved mysteries, this was a fun story line to read. It almost reminded me of the podcast Serial meets the Unsolved Mystery show, the perfect combo. Overnight podcast sensation Rachel Krall, heads to Neapolis to cover a rape trial forContinue reading “The Night Swim by Megan Goldin”

The Librarian of Boone’s Hollow by Kim Vogel Sawyer was the perfect book to read while on vacation in the Blue Ridge Mountains.

Until the day she was told her collegeContinue reading “Librarian of Boone’s Hollow by Kim Vogel Sawyer”

Born A Crime by Trevor Noah

Born a Crime is a memoir which is not my favorite genre, I feel like I need to preface everything beyond this with that statement. BUT I didn’t hate it! I’m a member of book club in my neighborhood called Marne View Books and Bubbles, isn’t that so fun? Bubbles because sometimes we have champagne!!Continue reading “Born A Crime by Trevor Noah”

The Book of Lost Names by Kristen Harmel

The Book of Lost Names by Kristin Harmel was one that will stick with me. We’re currently living during a pandemic, social unrest, high profile election and we don’t even begin to scratch the surface of what is being felt in the time period this story is set. We meet Eva Traube just days beforeContinue reading “The Book of Lost Names by Kristen Harmel”

Courting Mr. Lincoln by Luis Bayard

As a lover of historical fiction I jumped on the chance to review and spotlight Courting Mr. Lincoln on here and on my Instagram. While this a historical fiction it is based on true life. The underlining plot line is the courtship of Mary Todd and Abraham Lincoln and since I know they eventually marryContinue reading “Courting Mr. Lincoln by Luis Bayard”

The Last Woman in the Forest

The Last Woman in the Forest by Diane Les Becquets was offered as a review opportunity by Penguin Publishing and the First to Read program. Choosing this book to review was out of my comfort zone as I usually chose historical fiction or rom-coms. I’m glad I did venture out though because this was an unexpectedContinue reading “The Last Woman in the Forest”
